The program consists of contemporary dance works by three leading Finnish choreographers. The evening is organized by Ballet Finland.
 

Hanna Brotherus’ Song of Sorrow is a stirring outburst of energetic dance by seven movement professionals of different ages and backgrounds, reaching for the simultaneous lightness and weight, sorrow and hidden beauty. 

Johanna Nuutinen’s work Ever focuses on the ambiguity of the concept of the end. The end can mean an inevitable conclusion, a pause or a transition, but it can also be a new beginning or a continuum in which nothing really ends, but rather transforms into something new. 

The work invites the viewer to pause and reflect on what “the end” means to them – and whether anything is truly “over forever.” Joonas Pehrsson’s sound design and Lauri Porra’s composition Matter create a rich atmospheric framework for the work. 
  

Kenneth Kvarnström’s beloved classic Carmen?! premiered in Kuopio in 1993. Since then, it has been performed in various configurations and forms around the world, usually with four male dancers and always without a female lead in the role of Carmen.

The version now on display has been spiced up with some new elements. The music is Rodion Shchedrin’s dramatic and rich Carmen suite.
